COVID-19: Shimadzu, copper coating at 6 times faster than conventional: Blue semiconductor laser combined processing machine
COVID-19:
Shimadzu:
It is expected to “reduce the risk of bacteria and viruses and use it in the public health environment.”
NEDO is developing high-brightness blue semiconductor lasers and processing technology.
High brightness blue semiconductor laser:
Recently, it was jointly developed with Osaka University, Yamazaki Mazak, and Shimadzu Corporation.
Utilizing a high brightness blue semiconductor laser,
Can coat copper at high speed and precision
Developed hybrid multi-tasking machine.
Hybrid multi-tasking machine:
The developed machine is
3 200W high-intensity blue semiconductor lasers installed
Equipped with 600W class multi-beam processing head,
High power density at the laser focus spot,
The coating speed of copper on metallic materials such as stainless steel and aluminum has been improved by more than 6 times compared to the past.
Application fields:
Metal handrails with which people come into contact,
By coating the handle and door knob with copper,
Reduces the risk of bacteria and viruses.
It can also be expected to be used for high-precision parts processing required in industries such as aviation, space, and electric vehicles.
